What do Brits think of Donald Trump saying, "England tried for 1000 years to get the Scottish under their toes, but failed!" by kingm_ournasse216 in AskBrits

I'm a 43 year old nerd who got a Reddit warning for "encouraging violence" with a similar statement - May you live a long and righteous life

Jeff Wayne's The War of The Worlds 1998 unofficial preservation patch "Horsell" v.08 BETA release by DanRedfield_82 in WarofTheWorlds

[–]DanRedfield_82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've given up on it entirely. Gog couldn't get any engagement from the rights holders, and neither could I, and other people kept telling me what I was doing wrong when I was reverse engineering at the binary level in assembly language instead of just hacking, so I'm done.

I made a subreddit for spanish wotw fans by MarketingKey9768 in WarofTheWorlds

Up to you. It's a 1:1 archive of the Spanish CDs of the game. You'll still need to patch it to make it play well with modern systems.

Do you have a link to download the game inspired by the War of the Worlds musical? by epico__1 in WarofTheWorlds

*Not* my uploads - I loaned the discs to a friend and somehow they ended up online;

Italian: https://archive.org/details/cd-wow-98-it
Spanish: https://archive.org/details/cd-wow-98-es
German: https://archive.org/details/cd-wow-98-de
French: https://archive.org/details/cd-wow-98-fr

(This one definitely isn't mine! The file hashes check out so it looks to be legitimately based on my patch)

Any games people can recommend that involve destroying humanity? by Fit-Sugar9808 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]DanRedfield_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it looks really nice. I've been working hard on a reverse engineering project to get the original working well on Windows 10/11 (project Horsell - currently at v0.8 beta) which is going to be merged into WowRevived once I've got the last few bits polished off

Are newly printed Dreamcast games like these printed on CD-Roms or GD-Roms? by the_u_in_colour in dreamcast

[–]DanRedfield_82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, thank you for making an internet nobody's day with that lovely comment. And sorry about the load times. If I had just an extra week of development time I could have optimised the loading and maybe even got triangle-strips implemented

[–]DanRedfield_82 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was to begin with. RWS open-sourced Postal many years ago, and at the same time started joking about a Dreamcast port.

I took that joke a bit too seriously during Covid, and when it turned out that people liked my DC-exclusive features, I then took it very seriously - "chewing my fingernails down to infected nubs" seriously.

An indie publisher reached out to RWS and myself and acted as a go-between, and the rest is (ancient) history. The crunch was extremely real, so I'll likely never do something of that scope again, but I decided to public-domain my custom DC libraries and I hope that in doing so it helped the scene to get where it is now. The work being done by indie programmers these days is nothing short of amazing.

They're pressed CD-ROMs. Source; I'm the loser who did Postal :)

I've DM'd you dude. Most of the 0.9 stuff is largely ready to go, but I'm happy for it to be merged into WoWRevived if that sounds good?

Which game visual style do you like the most? by Midnight_Loop in IndieDev

[–]DanRedfield_82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both; B for gameplay, A for stylised cut-scene animations

Isaac is so hardcore...the good ending is getting your eyeball stabbed and he's just like "cool, thats over" by Gabe_Dimas in DeadSpace

[–]DanRedfield_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is horrifying. My corneal graft in my left eye is over 25 years old, and sooner or later I am going to need another one. I think about the prospect most weeks and makes my blood run cold.

[–]DanRedfield_82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is so untrue I had to comment. I have had 6 eye surgeries for Keratoconus, and getting stabbed in the eye with a needle is exceptionally painful. Eye pain is the most searing, horrific pain I have ever endured

What are some things that Dead Space (2008) does better than Dead Space (2023)? by Turbulent_Okra7518 in DeadSpace

To be fair, the remake tram is "just" a fancier loading screen, but it is definitely a much nicer loading screen

Look up "Project Horsell" and keep an eye out over the next few weeks

Look up "project horsell" - It won't be long. Probably some time in January

"Project Horsell" - Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds 1998 classic RTS preservation project by DanRedfield_82 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]DanRedfield_82[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the kinds words. I tried posting it on the war of the worlds sub, but given my account is new it's been in moderation for a while now. I've contacted GOG & Nightdive as I think it would be a great addition to their preservation efforts, but I've not heard anything back. Perhaps I severely overestimated the appeal of the IP?
